Tuesday 14th September
Spent a bit of the morning in Eguisheim village - it is very colourful with its marzipan houses and fountains and flowers. We checked that Henri Brecht was still in business - we have bought his wine before, but unfortunately he is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so tasted and got some from one of his neighbours. Then on to Leclerc on the outskirts of Colmar - what a treat to be in a French supermarket! The German Aldis and Lidls were OK but we have really missed the choice that we are used to at home and in France. Prawns always taste so good in France and lunch today up on the Col de Bonhomme was great!
Travelled as far as Lorraine, stopping for the night at an Aire/France Passion in the village of Bruley, just north of Toul. This was a large parking space in the centre of the village - interesting watching the comings and goings of the locals and very quiet at night.
Wednesday 15th September
On the road again, just stopping to buy our baguette before getting onto the autoroute near Verdun. Did the bulk of thejourney today, 218 miles, and now at a very green campsite at Boiry Notre Dame, near Arras.
We'll stop at a supermarket somewhere tomorrow as we like to buy a few things to bring home - especially a huge leafy lettuce and some sausages - guess which for who?!! Then to Calais for our ferry late afternoon and home hopefully in time for John to get to the Drama Group Dress Rehearsal. (The Group are possibly looking forward to the return of their Lighting Man - for
performances Friday and Saturday!)
And so another brilliant adventure comes to a close - and a very memorable one too.
